Ingredients

Preparation

Total: 1 Hour, 45 Minutes

1. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside a 4- to 5-qt. pot. Find a small heatproof plate that also fits inside pot, and set paper and plate aside.

2. In pot, combine 6 cups water, the sugar, and quinces. Cover pot and bring almost to a simmer. Carefully set parchment, then plate on top of fruit to weight it down. Cook at a gentle simmer without disturbing until quinces are tender and pale pink in color, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours (lift plate with a table knife to check). Discard parchment and let quinces cool in syrup.

Make ahead: Up to 3 weeks, chilled.

The very first marmalades were made with quinces, perhaps because they contain a high amount of pectin. A hint of vanilla mellows the tangy flavors of this version. With its gorgeous color and delicious taste, this marmalade would make a great gift.

"For one of my birthdays, all of my friends chipped in and gave me the smoker of my dreams, knowing that they would benefit from it. Ever since then, my suburban New Jersey neighbors have gotten to enjoy the smells of my Thanksgiving turkey as it smokes in the backyard."

Applewood chips lend a slightly sweet and fruity flavor to the meat. You can also try smoking the turkey with cherry or alder wood chips for more delicate smoked flavor.

Blended corn tortillas add a delicious masa flavor and give the chili extra body. We like to top ours with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese to add a delicious creamy flavor, but for a hotter, meatier flavor, leave out these toppings. Regardless, this chili is perfect for a cozy night in.
